Chapter 94: Saved by the Minor Antagonist (9)_1
The Ruanlin Family matriarch sat by the bed, watching without wanting to take her eyes off Ruan Jiaojiao until the sound of footsteps approached. It was Du Qing, standing at the doorway with a low cough that finally prompted her to tiptoe out.
"Mom, there’s nothing much happening with Jiaojiao here, so we’re planning to head back to town now. If anything comes up, just send someone with a message."
"Right, we can rush back anytime," Wu Le added.
"Alright, you all must be tired too, go back and have a good rest."
"What are you saying, Mom? We’re family; there’s no such thing as tired. Alright, we won’t linger, we’re heading back now, okay? Take good care of yourself too," Du Qing said.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch nodded, escorted them to the door, and watched them leave before turning to go back inside. Upon reaching the courtyard entrance, she saw several grandsons at the door of the room where Ruan Jiaojiao was sleeping, peeking inside, and immediately advanced on them with brisk steps.
"All of you move aside! If you wake Jiaojiao up, you’ll have me to answer to!"
"Granny, we’re just worried about our sister and wanted to check on her," Little Fatty said.
The Ruanlin Family matriarch glared at them and said irritably, "I haven’t settled the score with you for these past few days. What did I tell you last time? Have you forgotten? No taking your sister to the back mountain, but you still led her there!"
"Granny, it won’t happen again, we swear it won’t," Ruan Chi said earnestly, looking at the Ruanlin Family matriarch and raising his hand to swear, truly frightened by this experience.
